The silky smooth strands, the naughty curls, the curvy wavy knots, etc, we all love our hair. It is the first thing that gives sparks to our personality and is our identity too. Our hair bears many things from harsh chemicals in beauty products dust and pollution, to frequent combs or brush strokes, etc. They have to bear all these things to make us beautiful, so it is in our hands to make them more beautiful, nourished and smooth.
Natural care is the best one to treat them with. Here are some homemade hair beauty products for the health of hair, as our hair tells a lot about us- makes sure they are telling the right story.
When a woman isn’t beautiful, people always say, ‘You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair.
